"NC State's Historic Basketball Success: Men's and Women's Teams Make Final Four"

Both the NC State men's and women's basketball teams have secured spots in the Final Four, marking the first time since 1983 that both teams from the same school have achieved this feat. The women's team, seeded No. 3, hadn't reached the Final Four since 1998, while the men's team, seeded No. 11, hadn't made it since their championship win in 1983. This accomplishment puts NC State in a select group of schools, including Georgia, Duke, Oklahoma, Texas, Connecticut, Michigan State, LSU, Louisville, Syracuse, and South Carolina, that have sent both their men's and women's teams to the Final Four in the same year.

"US Women's Cycling Team Suspended for Deceptive Tactics in Race Qualification"

The US women’s cycling team Cynisca has been suspended by the International Cycling Union (UCI) for dressing a mechanic as a rider to avoid disqualification from a race. The team's sports director instructed four riders to lie about the whereabouts of a fifth rider, who they claimed was ill, and then had a mechanic wear a rider’s clothes and face mask, sign the start sheet as a rider, and present herself at the starting line. The UCI found the team guilty of fraud, with different levels of implication for the members involved. The team has apologized and taken internal actions, while the sports director and mechanic have been suspended and fined.
